Can someone summarize the difference and locations between all these
things?

I've heard of:
	2.2.8-stable
	3.0-stable
	3.0-current
	3.0-release
	4.0-current 

Where are all these things? Some in source? Some in binary?  I've just
been grabbing the things in "pub/FreeBSD" on current.freebsd.org. I
assume those are daily builds of 3.0-stable.

Is it still true that "2.2.8" is the thing that folks get when they go
to the www.freebsd.org website and grab the "the latest stable thing"?

I've been on this list for a while and there doesn't seem to be a
document anywhere saying what any of this is. It is quite confusing.

An explanation would be incredibly appreciated.
